>>58278123You say it like of your average shounen has good scaling lmao.
Besides, the series had a generally good power progression until XY. BW non-withstanding for obvious reasons.
SM is when the bullshit truly started to start and Journeys doubled down on it and even worse by making legendaries and Champions into massive weak bitches.
Horizons is a mess scaling-wise because there's no "measuring stick", so to speak, so any powerlevels are at the level whatever the plot needs to progress or for the plot to be cockblocked. You went and made these niggas beat Geeta and Nemona, whatever bullshit rules or cope doesn't count was totally not at full strength were used for them, and were having these niggas have ANOTHER training arc at a fucking school?Like, seriously? It's so silly.
For better or worse, with Ash at least there was a sense of "progression" with him getting better results little by little, even if we knew it was bullshit, and even if was taking decades. Horizons feels like a TAS in comparison, that said, that Ash took decades to get anywhere in life will make anyone else journey who doesn't have to deal with Yuyama cockblocking feel unbelievably fast and bullshit so it's also partly to blame for any of Horizon's scaling feeling "unrealistic".
Shit's fucked no matter what.
